does anyone know of any aftermarket nitevision parts for a panther G or even aftermarket red lens for the kit supplied one,s thanks from tom martell
Why not use clear red paint for the lens, if the kit has a clear one?
Model Railroad supply stores carry MV Lenses. They come in a variety of sizes and colors ranging from clear (like a headlight) to amber, green and red.
Most IR lenses I’ve operated with were such a dark red that they appear to be gloss bloack in color.
No comments and the IR … just wanted to welcome you back Tom.
November 2000 FSM has a great article on building a late war panther with a nightvision rig on it. Even has how these “Sparrowhawk” units opreated and were comprised. Most of the article deals with the IR rig.
Great stuff!
Mike
thank you all for your help and suggestions on the nitevision
